there used to be this kid named Bowdy around these parts. this kid always had to act hard & thought he was a tough guy. the neighborhood loser with a Napoleon complex.
in grade school, we were at a buddy's house & his bedroom window was perfectly facing this walkway/path leading into a mini strip mall. we saw Bowdy walking by & starting blasting him with our BB guns. I'll never forget the look on his face, the confusion & his sheer stupidity to not even realize that all the pellets were coming from one direction. he was reacting the way you would if a bee was attacking you, except he kept coming back into shooting range trying to look for this invisible bee attacking him haha.
much, much later - we're adults now, & he's still being Bowdy, acting all hard & shit. so one day we were chilling at the handball courts, just enjoying the weekend & he comes up to us & flashes a gun at us, like threatening us, trying to get a reaction, like that was his moment to finally get us to fear him. we literally all just brushed him off, as if he had a squirt gun - laughing in his face, mocking him. looking back now, we were pretty fucking stupid, but at the same time, that's how pathetic this dude was. no one, literally no one took this dude seriously.
another time we came back from a club, so it was super late at night & we see him walking by. he asked a buddy of mine for a cigarette & my buddy declined. finally, Bowdy snapped & started fighting with him. my buddy was handling himself, but just defending himself trying to get Bowdy to stop, but Bowdy wouldn't. we were all FUCKED UP btw, drunk, ecstasy, blunted, K - you name it. until another buddy of mine who is a notorious gang member just went into his car & pulled out this giant pipe, went up to Bowdy & all we heard was "PENKK". Bowdy's reaction, it was like Mike Tyson's Punch out, whenever you KOd your opponent, they'd make a cartoonish facial expression while flailing about before hitting the ground. we had to dip out immediately after, because this all happened right on a residential street, with people watching the commotion from the windows of a 6 story building.
I don't know what happened to Bowdy, but man, I feel bad for the guy. & I myself, along with the rest of the world were assholes to him. the she goes I guess.
